some update on the issue but problem still persists 1. installed thinking sphinx first using gem 2. downloaded the sphinx search engine and put them in the C drive named as like c:\sphinx> 3. added indexes to the model on RoR . 4. Indexed it using "rake ts:index" and it generated the " development.sphinx.conf ". 5. Then I tried installing sphinx daemon from the command prompt with the config file as "development.sphinx.conf" 6. When I tried " rake ts:start" , It still hangs... and the daemon will not start. so I exited and 7. started the searchd service manually from services.msc. Now the search daemon works fine and I can use the RoR to search.
But the problem of starting service from RoR still persists it hangs without giving any error or success message on the console. Any suggestions will be greately helpful.
